Why is this video on YouTube. It's terrible.

[twilightlight]

his grip on his hand is all tormented !

[melinaemilymay]

whats with your grip on your right hand? its terrible

[HeavySupportDude]

yeah his wrist is like all crumpled... :O

[sarah4cello]

That was shocking! Terrible intonation! It's fine for a student to put a video of their scales on youtube for others to see, but don't present yourself as an expert doing it the right way when you're not. You are giving many cello students the wrong idea of how to play!

[dreamcass1]

Please, I hope you do not actually teach cello to poor, unassuming children.

[MaskguyEvan]

Once upon a time there was a violinist who held their bow correctly. They slightly changed their pinkie, and arched their wrist so they assumed it would be a cello grip. This poor misinformed individual assumed himself an expert and stuck himself on a youtube channel called Expert Village, where thousands of beginners are being corrupted to this day. The end.

[sibelius27]

I agree.

[Montagnanaman]

This guy is a complete menace, he should be detained!

[chello1]

here here

[dzodzet]

Tell me it is a joke, dude!!

[violaplayer1995]

ur c is outta tune...

[dannieyankee]

No, that's actually correct.

[violaplayer1995]

ur saying playing an f in a d major scale where theree is 2 sharps, ( f# and c#) is correct?

[noobypube]

He did actually play F#. Watch his fingers.

[cello4ever]

The notes played on the D and A string have sharps! C major isn't supposed to have sharps!

[hiram418]

He isn't playing C Major at that point. He plays the first octave of C, then the first octave of G and then the first octave of D basically, poorly explaining the portable W-W-H-W-W-W-H structure of a major scale.

[stevejwilliams]

Expert Village?... The most tortured, inexpert bowing you could hope to find... he's obviously a poorly trained student.

[nissansamsung]

Geez. It pains me to watch you play scales with your right wrist bent the way it is. I hope you take that and your intonation into consideration when actually teaching others how to play scales.
